new Xbox

Almost all the cards are on the table and E3 2014 is shaping up to be the last big one. With Microsoft’s reveal of the Xbox One, gamers finally have an idea of what the next-generation of consoles will look like. The May 21 event showed off a system that’s meant to be an “all-in-one system”

“At the core, it has to be simple, instant and complete,” said Don Mattrick, Microsoft’s president of interactive entertainment.

That means the company didn’t showcase the gaming part of the system first. It seems the priority is to change what the public thinks of the console. The Xbox One isn’t a device that place games; it’s a media system that happens to play them. Microsoft wants people to view the console in the same space as the iPad.
